Lopez for the Bridcutt role next 2 games?

[chucky1973]

It will be Dicker and Hammond in the middle. He will also start Vicente at Home with Buckley or Orlandi and Lopez, Ulloa up front alone.

Anyway thats what I think.

Saturday is a must win or last nights counts for nothing. Keep the pressure on Leicester and Boro.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Crofts is injured and even if he's recovering, he isn't match fit. Hammond was crocked last night so may not be fit for Saturday. Lopez is a good defender so play him there, or Bruno with Calderon slotting back into the back four.

 

[LadySeagull]

Is'nt Hammond injured?

How can anyone tell the difference? Always too slow.

Drop Hammond...

Yep.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

If Hammond doesn't get over the knock he got last night then I'm quite happy with Dicker playing the DM role.

 

[AnotherArch]

At least this role is not as critical for ability in the air as it was a few weeks ago, now that it is playing in front of two centre halves who can actually head the ball.

 

[middletoenail]

Lopez is too lightweight, the opposition only need to breathe on him and he drops to the floor. I'd rather he do that in the final third than just in front of our box.

Hammond or Crofts for me, providing they're fit.

 

[Mellotron]

Shame Razak never became our Yaya Toure. Had the raw ability to.

 

[Napper]

Lopez must be up there with assists for us. Wouldnt like to restrict him as a holding player.

Did you not see Lopez play at right back?? Thought he was very impressive personaly

 

[GingerBeerMan]

Could play no central defensive midfielder? *Grabs coat and hides*

 

[BensGrandad]

I just hope that it is not Calderon as he is not good enough defensively and I hope that Croft is a million miles from the first team as he has not shown that he is good enough since rejoining us en of story. It has to be either Hammond or Dicker no other sensible realistic suggestion.

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

Surely JFC was on the bench and introduced for a couple of minutes to fulfil this role on Saturday? It will be superb seeing him come on.

TNBA

TTF

Yep.

Hammond is the most improved player at Brighton over the past 2 months and if fit is nailed on to play sorry cant say the same about Croft

 

[Weststander]

No way for Dicker and/or Lopez to be defensive midfielders.
Dicker has little pace to cover the ground Bridcutt did, and Dicker and Lopez lack bite and power in the battle against powerful opponents in that area in the Championship.

This.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Hammond limped off injured, IF he can't play Dicker can but will need Calde beside him. This is why Gus brought Calde on at Cardiff after the injury, to see if it will work I think. He certainly played CDM not RB

Stick to your Flower arranging and leave the team selections to the people in the know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
